Cumulenes are linear molecules consisting of consecutive double bonds linking chains of sp-hybridized carbon atoms. They have primarily been of interest for potential use as molecular wires or in other nanoscale electronic devices, but more recently,...
Avobenzone is one of the most widely used sunscreens in skin care formulations, but suffers from some drawbacks, including photo instability. To mitigate this critical issue, the use of octocrylene as a stabilizer is a common approach in these produc...
Advanced oxidation processes are emerging technologies for the decomposition of organic pollutants in various types of water by harnessing solar energy. The purpose of this study is to examine the physicochemical characteristics of tungsten(VI) oxide...
Ultrafast pump–probe spectroscopic studies allow for deep insights into the mechanisms and timescales of photophysical and photochemical processes. Extracting valuable information from these studies, such as reactive intermediates’ lifeti...
We prepared a rhodamine (RB)–perylene (Pery) compact electron donor/acceptor dyad (RB–Pery) to study the spin-orbit charge-transfer intersystem crossing (SOCT–ISC). The UV–vis absorption spectrum indicates a negligible electro...
Even with significant developments in nanoscience, relatively little is known about the interactions of nanocrystal semiconducting materials with bio-macromolecules. To investigate the interfacial phenomena of cadmium selenide quantum dot (CdSe QD) n...
Singlet fission is a desired process in photovoltaics since it enhances photoelectric conversion efficiency. Intramolecular singlet fission is of special interest as the fission efficiency can be improved through tuning configurations between chromop...
Fluorescence from dialkylamino donor–acyl acceptor substituted 1,8-naphthalene derivatives can occur either from a planar (PICT) or a twisted (TICT) intramolecular charge transfer excited state. The photophysical properties of 8-acetyl-1-(dimet...
